Railways in Victoria face road competition concerns
The Railway Commission chair writes to shire councils and rural societies warning that road motor competition harms rail services. He argues roads levy costs on freight like fertilizers and wheat, while railways offer essential service with lower rates on many goods. The note urges prudent policy to prevent starvation of the rail system and preserve community benefits. Special Easter services and cheap fares are announced, alongside a six day horseback tour from Harietville to the Australian Alps and government escorted tours expanding travel options. The Government Tourist Bureau emphasizes ready travel advice and bookings, with advance scheduling for interstate and Victorian trains.
